also if you look the letter to edward snowed and wrote which was published here today. then add the asa says very clearly cute he'd like to speak out to possibly on to have direct contact a german officials but would not do so until the humanitarian issue is resolved as he puts it. and of course by that he means his asylum status. the fact is according to sources in russia as well. that status could possibly be at risk if he were to leave russia and doubt there is an additional consideration which is that germany has an extradition treaty with the us apparently the us is already filed general extradition request this. according to german justice officials. so possibly there could be issues for snowden about whether if he were to set foot on german soil that might immediately be triggered that extradition request now it would be possible for him to get some form of testimony if there is to the parliament reentry and just in germany they are from the rock show. perhaps that german officials could either travel to russia or perhaps to submit questions in writing interestin
